Lindsey, I agree with Ursula, but I'll add that most of your plants are new, and you're getting a lot of them from Hawaii, where the temps and sun don't fluctuate very much. I've had some "bud blast" this year too, and I blame it on weeks of gloom and cold, followed by weeks of hot, dry wind. Orchids usually will adjust to your environment, but the weather this year is frustrating them as much as it is us. Your greenhouse will surely help. We have at least one commercial grower that grows in the desert, but the climate control makes it work.
